was the name Miley a real name before the actress became famous?

Miley's original name was Destiny Hope Cyrus. But her dad called her Smiley Miley. So it caught on and it became her real name. ^_^

It was. Du just didn't hear it nearly as often!

Yes, It was a real name before Mylie Cyrus. I know someone who is in their 30's with the name "Mylie"
But, She is the only other person I've heard of with the name "Mylie"

I think its probably made up cuz that was the first time I heard of it.

i think that they made it up i rele like thta name tho

Maile, which is pronounced similar to Miley is an old Hawaiian name. So I'll go ahead and say yes, it was.

Not "Miley". Miley is a modern invented name unheard of in the oben, nach oben thousand until 2007.
